That 30 extra hp on the CRV is making a big diff. Almost a second faster than the CX5.

Hondas biggest problem with the cr-v is boring looks inside and out. Plus in that article they mentioned that all of them other than the cx5 had numb steering and were not fun to drive. What the cx5 lacks in hp it makes up for with handling and good looks inside and out

damn! hate the tires on the tsx (Pirelli P4 Plus)... tire's too squirmy and super crappy traction on high speed corners when the road is wet

hopefully these tires wear out quickly.. btw, they have 85k treadwear warranty. fawk..

Yeah Iunno about Mazda. For some reason I can't explain, I keep getting this feeling that Mazdas are just incredibly cheap. I really have no clue why they just magically got that reputation with me...

Also lol I got all panicky earlier today because I thought something on my passenger side was leaking fluid. I saw a puddle pooling a little ways away from my passenger side front wheel, freaked out a bit. Then some random guy comes up and says "Yeah that's just the A/C. It flushes out water from time to time. It's just condensation."

I felt like an idiot. But in my defense I rarely ever use my air conditioning as it is. Only been using it lately with this 107 degree heat..

Ugly commute this Monday morning. Got cut off by this (he actually road raged on me a bit):



Then by this:



I guess the happy-go-lucky TL doesn't have the intimidation factor like the blacked out RDX.

Indeed you have on multiple occasions.

Like I said, I'm thinking about it right now. I don't want to get rid of them, however if I have to in order to make some much needed maintenance happen, then I have to. The car is worth more driving on the road than the wheels on it are ha.
